1. The problem of not getting any output on Windows is indeed tdf#112536, and
is fixed now.

2. --cat does work for me with .odt files; when using with debug builds, one
needs to consider the debug output that gets emitted by LibreOffice to stderr,
and mixed with the output to stdout when seen in terminal; so the best way to
see if something is actually output is using command line like

> soffice --cat path/to/file.odt > path/to/out.txt

so that out.txt would contain only the stdout data, while console would get all
warnings/info from stderr.

3. --cat does *not* work for me with .ods; *possibly* that's expected that we
only output the content for text documents, not other types of documents - I
suppose we use "plain text" output filter for the loaded document, which would
fail for spreadsheets.
